Why do people get so butthurt about midichlorians? its not like they are the force or they give you some sort of power level, its just what makes you force sensitive , im not gonna say they are a great idea or anything but they dont ruin any sort of philosophical aspect of the force or take away its magic.

Same reason Chris Chan gets upset about Sonic's blue arms. Autism.

It was a completely retarded, pointless concept that DID take away from the mystical aspects of the Force. However they were never really mention again after the few times it was used in Episode I, so I'm not quite sure why some get so worked up about them.

>hurr it's not the force it just lets you use the force

For all intents and purposes, that means midichlorians are the fucking force. I wish you retards would stop pretending otherwise.

It turned it into inaccessible, "you're either born with it or you're not", Aryan Übermensch bullshit.

Except midichlorians affects story and blue or tan arms do not.

No surprise, this came from Return of the Jedi, when Lucas started to gain more control over the series. You didn't hear Obi-wan telling Han he couldn't use the force when he mocked it. There's no talk of Luke using the force before meeting Obi-wan. He wanted to learn the ways of the force like his father, he didn't say anything about genetics. Yoda didn't say shit about genetics on Dagobah.

If everyone was force sensitive then it would had been imposible for the imperial officer that mocked Vader or anyone else for that matter to not belive in the force since they could feel it,

Also Luke shooting Womp rats while flying a T-16 could had been a sign of him using the force, Yoda and Obi wan didnt talked about genetics because it wasnt important, are you so autistic you needed Obi to go :" Luke, did I ever told you about midiclorians? they are good friends to the jedI"

>luke magically gained the force

>it wasn't inside of him all along

it was always established that some people had stronger connections to the force than others

earlier drafts had everyone using fucking lightsabers, would you still want that?

>You didn't hear Obi-wan telling Han he couldn't use the force when he mocked it.

The Force exists inside everyone to one extent or another, barring very special cases.

>There's no talk of Luke using the force before meeting Obi-wan.

Like his father, it partially manifested in things such as his piloting skill.

>He wanted to learn the ways of the force like his father, he didn't say anything about genetics. Yoda didn't say shit about genetics on Dagobah.

For the same reason you don't talk about genetics when you're learning anything else. If it's a debate about genetics, the student focuses on something he can't change, instead of what he can.

>If everyone was force sensitive then it would had been imposible for the imperial officer that mocked Vader or anyone else for that matter to not belive in the force since they could feel it,

Did you know the human eye can see polarized light, under certain circumstances? One good way to see this is to look at the moon, you can often see a blueish tinge on one edge and an orangey-bromine-brown fringe on the other side.

Every human eye can do it, but it's not nearly as strong as, say, the filters on a camera.

So if the Force for you is, say, that "feeling I'm being watched" being accurate more often than other people, or great reflexes, it's easy as fuck to think it's just normal innate talent.

The problem with midichlorians in the narrative is that in the OT, while not everyone was sensitive to it to the point they could be trained to manipulate it, there was enough mystery about the force to make it tantalizing to the viewer. Once it came to be defined by the number for special Force bugs in your blood, it became quantifiable, and something that the SW version of science can measure and explain.

And, though it was never brought up again, once you know what causes something, it becomes possible to replicate it. Imagine some normie in the SW universe that could harvest midichlorians from the blood of fallen jedi/sith and inject them into him or her self to artificially make them force sensitive.

Actually kind of makes for a neat story idea, but makes the Force itself less interesting of a phenomena within the universe.


 No.5150

Lucas wanted to make it more like Ki/Chi and have Force power levels like it was DBZ.

Took something mystical and tried to make it scientific, in DBZ they ended up abandoning the scientific ratings anyway since the message was Mysticism > Science.

>but makes the Force itself less interesting of a phenomena within the universe

yes, telekinesis, telepathy, precognition, healing… very boring and normal, since we know midichlorians are in some way involved.

Yeah, because it's about non communicable space aids that make you magic now. Hurray.
